This is one of the GREATEST proffessors i've seen in college. He is very straightforward, no tricky exams, you will know what to expect for the exam. He is very knowledgeable of the subject so you can ask him anything. He breaks down most complex material to make them very simple and is not a harsh grader. His main goal is to teach you not stress u
Dr. Irowa is a great professor who genuinely wanted everyone to do well. He was clear about what to expect on exams, assignments were straightforward and useful study tools, and class time was used efficiently. Even if biology is not your strong suit, I recommend taking it with Dr. Irowa. He knows what he's talking about and knows how to teach it.
Very nice, funny, and caring teacher.
Come to class, study his notes, read the questions in the back of each chapter, spend extra time in labs for practice and you will do well. He will answer any questions you have and is very helpful. Great instructor!! I wished he was teaching Bio 234.
Come to class, study his notes, answer questions from the chapters, and do extra time in the science learning lab and you should do fine. I learned a lot in his class and he is very helpful. I enjoyed his class and wished he taught 234.
Very good professor, i recommend him.
he's very good teacher, very helpful, and very easy. i realy recommand him ..
Dr. Irowa is a very pleasant, thorough instructor. He gets straight to the point and made Anatomy physiology interesting and easy to learn. He has a pleasant since of humor too.
He is the best instructor. He is always there to help. If you work hard you can get an A. Study hard and you will do great. He reviews every test in class and is super nice. Makes learning fun. strongly recommend that you take him.
He's a funny guy. I enjoyed his class, he genuinely liked to teach and cares which is a rarity these days. He is clear to what you need to focus on and has PowerPoint slides for study. Test are avg. 70-90q multiple choice. He is approachable and friendly. Would recommend.
Dr. Irowa is the best professor ever. He cares about his students and wants them all to succeed. His lectures are very clear and fun. He reviews before exams and is always letting students know that he's available for any additional help. Great professor. I'm looking forward to taking another class with him.
Dr. Irowa is an extremely knowledgable man who only wants to help his students succeed. Lecture exam questions come directly from his short and clear handouts. Lab practicals can be overwhelming with so much material covered, so use HFCC's sciweb page and Dr. Karapetian's youtube vids. Quizzes are take-home. Don't be lazy and you'll get a A.
nicest bio teaher i ever has. Very caring person. He tries his best to keep the students on task and help them in any way possible. TAKE him you wont regret it. :)
He is the best teacher yet!! Approachable, firm yet fair, funny, genuinely cares for all of his students, is eager to do anything to help you get what he is teaching at that time!! My only downfall with him is that I can't have him again for BIO 234! I think this should be addressed for future students! Bio department should look into this!!!
Makes sure you have all info needed for tests.
Easy and friendly very enthused about teaching class takes pride and helps with tests all the time.
Awesome professor!!!
He's an awesome professor and very knowledgeable on this topic. Make sure you print the slides and take notes. You barely make use of the book. He gives extra credit and extremely easy assignments. Make sure you're there for every lecture and you'll do amazing. His exams are a joke if you pay attention to him.
Great teacher:)
I absolutely loved Professor Irowa. He was probably one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had. If you come to class and study the outline he gives you you'll ACE all the tests no problem. He offeres extra credit through out the course. I highly recommend him! I just wish he taught Bio 234 :)
Great professor and interesting class.
Very cool professor. Very knowledgeable on the subject. Gave us everything we needed to succeed and do well on the tests. He is a cool and funny guy. Would definitely take him again and recommend him to a friend.
Great teacher could had did way better then a C it was not the teacher it was me, really recommend this teacher. Wish he could teach anatomy 234 he is great!
Great professor and amazing course! Study hard, understand the materials and you will ace this class.
This class is supposed to be hard but with this professor it is really easy. His tests are so clear cut and they are directly from his notes. I did not open my book and I got an A. He is by far the easiest professor that I have had and I have taken over 50 credits here. Take him, you will not regret it. If I could I would take him for every class.
simply amazing teacher! helps so much. wants students to do well.gives you the notes that are pretty much the test. you must take him!!
Very nice teacher if you read and study the study guide he gives you trust me you will do good in his class
Mr. Irowa was a great professor. His PowerPoints are very informational. Almost everything on the PowerPoint is on the exams in addition,he will tell you what to focus on. His assignments are easy and will help you on your exams. He's a very understanding professor and provides you with all the resources he can to help you pass STUDY & TAKE HIM!
very good teacher, I wish he teach BIO 234
He's really nice and knowledgeable. He makes sure you understand the content. He's a funny guy. Actually enjoys teaching the class.
He is the best teacher! He is very willing to help his students and wants to see them succeed!
do you want an A? and are you willing to read the book and put in a little bit of effort? than dr irowa is probably your best pick, A & P is a hard class and he makes it easy, gives a ton of extra credit and is willing to work with you as long as your willing to put in work. I got an A and did the minimal amount of effort necessary. Great pick!
He's a phenomenal instructor. His exams are relatively easy as his lecture notes are on the exam. You do have to read, as it is a biology course. But overall, he's awesome!!
He's a great teacher ! He really knows his stuff and isn't afraid to engage with the class. He gives out homework assignments, and extra credit to help boost your grade. His exams aren't tough at all, he hands out study guides and tells you exactly what to study. I'd take him again .
Very smart guy. Great teacher. Very Funny.
Dr irowa is an excellent professor. He is very patience and will help you in any way he can to make sure you understand the material. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is willing to learn and understand the material.
Dr irowa is an excellent professor. He is very patience and will help you in any way he can to make sure you understand the material.
Dr irowa is an excellent professor. Although I dont care for science he makes you want to learn more.
Dr irowa is an excellent professor. great sense of humor.
M. Irowa is a great professor
M. Irowa made the class interesting
Great professor, his homework involves a bit of drawing but overall really helpful + hilarious.
An excellent professor, would recommend to anyone. 5 credit class, took half the effort of my 3 credit courses. Of all the professors offered for this course, he is your best bet for an A. The amazing thing is... you get an 'A' AND you learn. Fantastic.
He is a awesome biology instructor. I find him to be easy-going and hilarious. He knows his stuff when it comes to lectureslabs. Even though, his class is an easy "A." You must work hard to earn it; and never be afraid to ask questions. He is worthy of making sure that you understand his lectures. I would clearly recommend that you take him.
By far the best professor I've ever had. He is very funny in class, his lectures are made easy to understand he's very helpful and as long as you pay attention you will get an A!!!!
Dr. Irowa was very knowledgeable in this field of study. He went into great detail throughout his lectures, so attending class was vital to passing. In addition to lectures, he gave assignments that really aided our knowledge of anatomy. Dr. Irowa really cares about his students. I learned a great deal from this course. Definitely would recommend
He has a great sense of humor. Amazing teacher. Very helpful.
Great teacher! He is always there to help you if you need it! I would recommend him to everyone!
Very helpful teacher and amazing. Helps a lot in lab and lectures.
Best professor ever!!! God bless you. Hands down, he will go above and beyond to help his students understand the material. Read, study, A+ ! I am so thankful I took his class.
Super easy professor! Just wants kids to do well and even had two open book exams (w computers) because of it.
Dr. Irowa is very knowledgeable about the topics he teaches. He is very caring and wants to see success in students. His class requires you to pay attention in class and also study out of class. The class is very easy as long as you are motivated and put forth the effort to pass.
Mr. Irowa is an awesome teacher that knows his material and loves to teach it. He helps out in any and every way that he can. I would recommend him to everybody and anybody. Definitely would take him again!! Great teacher!! A++++++++++ :)))
One of the best. I loved this class. He was very nice and clear about everything. Gave homework, but really easy. I was scared to not do good but i studied what he told us and i did great. Puts all the power-points online and updated them when you ask him to. I loved this class and would recommend to other students. Make sure to study for the A.
Dr. Irowa is hands down the BEST professor I have ever had the pleasure of taking in my entire career as a student. He will go the extra mile to help you in any way,shape or form. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field and would take him again,no questions asked. Do yourself a favor and enlighten your life by taking him.
I love this guy like nothing else. If you want to know how neuron impulses move with and without myelin sheath, he'll demonstrate it really well. I would repeat this class, too bad I got an A.
This professor is what other professors' should be like. He's into the material and it shows in the way he teaches. Take him for anatomy you won't regret it. The way he teaches is awesome... you'll be learning and laughing at the same time because this guy is just plain ole funny! Take him! He should be at an teaching at Universitys not colleges.
Anatomy and physiology was a tough class but he's a great teacher. I'd recommend to any one.
Mr. Irowa was amazing. Not only does he help his students by not stressing them out, but he literally gives you everything you'll need to know for his exams. He was wonderful, and made the summer semester fly by. I am truly going to miss him.
Great teacher; really cares about his students and tries to help them understand difficult material. He makes lectures interesting and gives great feedback for tests and his homework assignments. Would recommend for anyone looking for a clear-cut professor. Made the summer semester very bearable; study for tests from his notes and you'll be fine.
Easy tests straight from his notes.... No stress and fun class
Dr. Irowa is by far one of the best anatomy teachers i have ever come across! His lectures were great and very educational because he knew exactly what he was talking about. He is hilarious and is always making each class more interesting. His tests are straight forward. Study the notes he hands out and you'll be guaranteed a good score.
Amazing teacher it's really hard to fail because of all the help that he offers. Take him!
Great professor, clearly explains what he needs from you from the beginning. Isn't like your normal professors on you about everything. Either you do it or don;t, he treats you like an adult but is always there for you when needed. Exams are from the power points mostly.
Very educational teaching, If you want to learn and pass , I recommend this Professor. Had him 5 years ago, he is the best . Very Professional.
The easiest instructor ever. He's so helpful.
Michael Irowa is a nice professor. His class is easygoing and enjoyable.
Amazing professor who tries his best to make the subject enjoyable. He reviews his lectures which are very helpful for the tests. He also gives extra credit opportunities. Pay attention and review the lectures given and you will be ready for those 100 question tests Just put in the effort and you will receive an A or B. He is simply awesome sauce!!
By far the best professor I have had for a biology course. Professor Irowa is a friendly guy and wants his student's to succeed not fail. When he says he isn't going to trick you on an exam, he really isn't. His tests are fair and as long as you pay attention in class and study his slides you'll have no problem acing them.
One of the best professors I've ever had!!! If you pay attention in class and do your part you will have no problem. Dr Irowa is very knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. He really enjoys teaching and makes the class interesting. And added bonus is he's very funny. I wish more professors were like him. By far one of the best!!!
AMAZING! he is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had at henry ford. He is truly there for you and will try his best to help you pass his class.
He's an amazing professor. He will do any thing to help you. Also, he encourages you to ask him if you do not understand.
Professor Irowa is the best. I really enjoyed his class. Just study the power points and you will be fine. One of the best professors I have ever had!! Take him, you won't regret it!!
I truly enjoyed the class. If you listen and pay attention you will learn a lot! Gave great lectures and examples to provide clarity.
Summarizes lectures and posts them on Moodleroom as to not overwhelm students with too much reading. Very knowledgeable and caring. Tells you exactly what you need to study and review for the tests. Show up, follow along, highlight what he says, & you'll get an A. No surprises or tricks. Wants all students to succeed! Ex Credit questions on tests.
He wants everyone to get an A in his class. Great professor!
Best Bio Teacher At Hfcc Wants Everyone To Pass. He Is Very Helpful Whatever He Says Will Be On The Test WILL BE ON THE TEST!!! As Long As You Study You'll Pass.
If you don't attend class you won't do well. Essentially everything in lecture will be on the test and he never tries to trick you. Everything that will be on the test is laid out for you to study and if you do you'll do fine on the test. You can probably get away with not getting the book but it was very helpful for the drawings you'll need to do.
Takes a very complicated subject matter, and makes it easy because he provides notes for you. All you have to do is show up, study exactly what he tells you to study and you'll do well. I took this class during the accelerated summer semester and still got an A! offers lots of extra credit and an easy grader.
Best professor. Hilarious, understanding, and very helpful. Just show up, pay attention and ask questions. Extra credit included plus given notes online.
One of my favorite professors so far; he definitely wants you to pass and is willing to help you get there, encourages you to reach out to him class. One thing that was helpful, was how he italicizes in his power points what you need to study/what most likely will be on the test. Very funny and SMART, accent was not a problem for me.
not great, but pretty good. Just study his lecture notes, and memorize the text. Do the homework, for the love of god, do the homework.
I really enjoyed his class. He try's to help you as much as possible by providing you with the material you need to know for the exams. His homework is a lot but generally easy. Make sure you do the homework because he gives extra credit toward the end.
Dr. Irowa is the best! 5 lecture tests and 3 lab practicals. 5 homework assignments. He puts the power points online and he italicized what will be on the exams. Literally study the wrap up questions at the end of the notes plus the italicized and you will be just fine. The last 2 assignments are extra credit as well!
I will take this professor again , very amazing, extra credit given, goes above and beyond, very helpful, if you study what he tells you too ... your guarantee to pass would most definitely take him again
Professor Irowa is an amazing professor. Plain and simple. One of the best teachers at HFC. Just study what he tell you to study for the tests and do the assignment and you are set. He also gives extra credit opportunities.
Amazing professor! Easy A just study the notes
He is a great professor, same time he makes you work hard to earn your grade. Nothing is so easy.
Dr. Irowa explains every question asked of him. He goes into detail to make sure the content is understood. He is available every minute of instruction and lab time. I greatly appreciated his humor, as it helped me engage in class. Bio/A&P is a lot of content and Dr. Irowa gives you every tool to succeed, but you need to use them.
By far one of the best instructors I've had, very easy to get along with, very helpful, all you need to do is to pay attention and you'll pass.
He was a really fair professors
Awesome class! Dr Irowa was an amazing professor... he answered every question explained in detail... I would love to take him again for A&P2!!! He making the class exciting .. if you try you will pass
Dr, is everything positive on those tags. Wish I could have him u til I graduate. givesextra credit. He will work with you . He doesn't speak loud so you have to listen. He will tell you everything that's on the test so just study that. The grade I got was because of me not what he did.
Best professor yet!
Very hilarious and knowledgeable. Be prepared to memorize the italicized words! He gives you everything you need to know for lecture exams. He gives extra credit. He was willing to explain more if you had questions. Makes you explore on your own in lab and watch videos.
very good professor would definitely take him again
This teacher is amazing. He really cares about his students success and is very helpful anytime you need him. I would definitely take a class with him again. I took this anatomy 1 class during the summer.
Good professor Very helpful Bio 233 is HARD Be prepared to memorize
Speaks quietly and is hard to understand. Doesn't teach anything for labs, students have to teach themselves. Never in a good mood. Always seems tired and has low energy. Book he used wasn't the same one that he assigned.
Very very hard to understand if you want to pass the class you have to read the chapters ahead of time and print PowerPoint notes and be prepared for class and he does not teach anything in lab you always have to ask him questions if you want to know anything. GOODLUCK!!!!
Dr Irowa is a very nice and understanding teacher you wont find many people understanding of personal issues that arise in life he literally only tests you on the stuff italicized in his PP so he wants you to succeed. And hes fair if you challenge a question or grade he meets you half way. He also provides extra credit he wants to help
he is a very nice teacher. i would recommend him for bio134.
So easy and nice. Pretty funny dude. Just study the PowerPoint note so.
Good would take again
Professor Irowa is awesome! Lectures are packed with a lot of information, but printing out power points makes it a lot easier. I didnt get the book, but he allowed us to use our book, notes, and printed power points on a few tests! Just listen to what he says to pay attention to, he really wants to make anatomy as pain free as possible for us!
He seemed to be very knowledgeable on the topics he discussed, but it was a bit hard to understand him. He also had a lot of grammatical errors in his powerpoints and lecture assignments. But he was very nice, and if you study the italicized text in the powerpoints & do the lecture assignments you should pass the class.
great professor!
He is a good teacher, his class is hard and the tests are too but if you pay attention in class and study at home you can pass his class with no worries.
He is a good professor and knows the criteria. It is hard to understand him because of his accent. He tells you what to study so as long as you study the italicized stuff in the power points you will pass no problem. Lab was easy. Just watch his videos online.
Mr. Irowa is the best professor at hfc. He's very kind and understanding. Very funny. Sit in the front rather than the back and you'll pass. His test are kind of hard but if you study your notes and the power points he gives you, theres noway you'll fail.
Make sure you study the material and do all of the extra credit given
He's a great teacher! Everything you need to know for a test is right in the lecture notes and he is more than willing to tell you what will be on the tests and how he will set up test questions so there are no surprises.
Dr. irowa is a very funny and outgoing teacher. the only thing I hated about him is you CANNOT understand him. he speaks tooo low!! he also has a very very strong accent, it is very hard to understand him when hes speaking. also his handwriting can be way off as well an grammer. besides that, hes nice and understanding. study guides given. easy A
Dr. Irowa explains good and helps a lot,but the students are failing; 10% of the students are passing only. I think the problem is not in the students and Dr. Irowa. I think the dean of this subject should provide more prerequisite for this class. I am really studying hard and I am not receiving a good results.
The teacher is great ! Explain things very well and give extra credits in the end of the semester ! Make some jokes during the class to make us laugh and refresh our minds !
i took the class during evenings this semester, and I found the teacher very helpful. he makes a lot of effort to tell us what to study , the first exam was open book and the others we are allowed for one cheat sheet which helped us a lot during the tests,give extra credit at the end of semester, good teacher !
Dr. Irowa covers material clearly in lecture with outlines available to download. Excellent review for tests. Amount of material covered is daunting, accelerated content of Anatomy & Physiology made class difficult. Go to labs, and put in time to learn huge amount of material this class covers. Student maturity and participation very important.
Everyone dropped their grade on the day of the final. This is the worst class Ive taken. Dont take this class its so stressful and he doesnt even teach. All he does is read the PowerPoints. He doesnt care about his students and he doesnt make the exams so the things on the exams werent covered in class. Please Im warning yous DONT TAKE IT!!
Gives a brief study guide before the lecture exam, not one question is on the exam. you cannot hear a word he says because his voice is so low. his homework assignments are very heavy about 20 questions, and they are only worth 10 points each. he has no sympathy for his students, almost everybody failed. the people who leave good reviews r smart.
very helpful
Dr. Irowa was a great professor! Really cares about students and wants you to do well. So much in fact that if you don't follow instructions on homework, he'll give you the opportunity to redo. Definitely follow instructions EXACTLY as given for any assignments. He enjoys when people laugh at his jokes and engage with him in the class.
Dr. Irowa is the best professor I had. Long as you try your best and study hard you will do good in his class. Hes always looking out for his students and does everything he can to help them. I would definitely take his class again. His lectures are also detailed and he always stops to answer questions or re explain something. Highly recommended.
Good professor. He offers lots of extra credit to help boost your grade, but you must earn it!! The class is not easy so make sure you pay attention to highlighted notes in lecture and read when you get home because the notes arent enough! Ask him for help HES ALEAYS WILLING TO HELP YOU AND GO IVER THINGS AGAIN SO DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK!
Tough class. Stay on top of the extra credit because you will need it. He reads off of the powerpoints so go home and read. Study on your own because lecture isnt enough!
If you dont study then dont expect a good grade.
Professor Irowa is a great teacher, he teaches and explains well. If helps you out with the grade ONLY OF you are working hard and trying your best, otherwise you gotta work hard to get the grade u want.
Best teacher. Very nice and respectful. He makes this class seem so easy and fun. Study and ull pass. I wish i took the class seriously at first i kept skipping and i didnt study so i wasnt passing. Last month of the semester started studying more and my grade went up fast and he gives you extra credits if u need it.
One of my favorite teachers I highly recommend
Dr. Irowa is the best teacher ever. very respectful, smart and caring for his students. he stays until the end to answer our question. he is very knowledgeable in biology. i wish i can give him more than 5. he offers lot of extra credit especially for students who work hard. I HIGHLY recommend him. he is really great and helps out a lot. Tamara.
Great teacher and EXTREMELY FAIR! Actually above fair. I took his Bio 134 anatomy and physiology class. He does have an accent but you get used to it and he thoroughly explains WHAT MATTERS on the test. Do the extra credit and participate. He literally tells you as long as you listen to him you will pass. I only purchased the lab manual. Easy A.
I like Mr. Irowa he definitely has a different teaching style then other teachers. I learned to adapt with ease because he is great at getting to know his students even if you're quiet like me. He offers tons of extra credit and if you focus and study you'll pass.
Mr. Irowa was great! Yes, the class is hard, its an accelerated course! You do have to read, study and work for it! Mr. Irowa does give extra credit to help you where you need it! In lab, he goes over all the materials that will be tested. I asked if I could record him and used that to study at home. I got an A+
If you participate you'll get points, and that is your "extra credit." He has a different way of teaching and is hard to understand. However, if you read the material and watch the videos you'll pass. I hate to say is but the lab portion of bio233 you pretty much just have to teach yourself if you end up with the guy are your professor. Good luck!
He outlines lecture notes for each chapter and pretty much reads them out loud during lecture, gives tons of extra credit, pretty sure that's the only reason i'm passing. I would take him again because he's super understanding and a very fair grader.
sign up for his class, you will see he is better other teachers
He's a great professor
I enjoyed Mr. Irowa's class. He was very interesting.
Hes an amazing teacher! Very nice and cool. Wants you to pay attention so you can learn. He gives a lot of easy quizzes which helps your grade!
Hes very nice and very respected. Mr Irowa knows what he is teaching. And will go over the models over and over and over until he makes sure you know it. He will always kindly help when you ask! Hes very understanding.
Very Intelligent! cares about our understanding and participation, uses all available tools to make it easy with us. very caring and works well with diversity. helps with extra credits
Dr. Irowa is a awesome professor because he actually goes in detail about to look forward to on exams
Mr. Iowa is a great teacher. The class is hard but he gives tons of extra credit, if youre struggling just email him! He is very funny, and knowledgeable on what hes teaching. I barely used the textbook, he pre-wrote all the lecture notes, and attendance isnt necessary. Show up anyways because he likes students more when youre putting in effort
Great professor. His class is challenging, not because he's a bad professor, it's because the class is accelerated class which means it has a lot of material to cover. I can assure you, if I were to take any other professor, I would've failed.
This is one of the best professors I've had in my entire academic career. He tells you over and over during the begining of the course on how to be succesful in class. Follow Directions. Review the material daily. Simple. He was prompt with grading and when asked for a recommendation. He made the material very relatable w/ real medical applications
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He inspired me, helped me out with everything I struggled with. I highly recommend him. If you are willing to understand the materials and get really good grades then take him because he explains really good. MASOUD...
He talks a lot during lab but it helps to learn the material. He tells you what will be on the lab practicals. Offers extra credit on lab practicals.
This teacher wants to understand what he teaches and will do everything to make sure you do. The HOMEWORK is key to you ALL your test. DO ALL OF IT! This teacher cares to the moon and back. Ask for help and you will get it�� . I really enjoyed his class and I'm happy I took this class. Don't miss any lab test and you should be fine. True MVP!
Dr. Michael Irowa was one of the best professors I had. Hes always giving extra credit and on every lecture test he let us use one piece of paper as a cheat sheet back and fourth and he also let us use the assignment for that test. During lab he always goes over whats going to be on the test. At the end of class he will round your grade.
He was a cool professor but he barely taught. He just showed the skeletons and told us to know that for the test. He did tell us what would and wouldn't be on the test but nobody could remember when it came to the test. He wasn't the worst teacher but he definitely could work on his lesson plans
Professor Irowa is a Great man. The accent is a bit hard to understand and you will need to teach yourself more than you expect. Pay attention in lecture and visit the learning center and you should be okay.
Dr. Iowa is caring and wants his students to succeed. He offers extra credit on lab practicals and quizzes. He teaches the material and answer question you may have. He allowed me to make up a lab practical after I explained to him my reason. Overall bio234 lab isn't hard if you study. Dr. Irowa is an excellent instructor.
He went out of his way to ensure we had every opportunity to learn. He gave multiple resources, answered emails, stayed after class, and even gave reviews before tests for anyone that might be struggling. He was always willing to explain things if people didn't understand. You can tell he genuinely does care about his students.
Lets you use a double sided cheat sheet for all exams. Lab exams are the only difficult part, but study and you should do well. Due to COVID, class moved online and we had lab and lecture exams online
Great professor I would recommend....
Amazing professor and vary understanding
Hes the best teacher ever, Provides us a lot of extra credits to give us chances .
I'm so glad I took this anatomy course with Dr. Irowa. He is very educated on the subject and cares about his students. You will do well and learn so much, but you have to do some studying. He will prepare you for exams so you'll know exactly what he expects. When he tells you "GO TO THE BONE ROOM!" you go to the bone room
Best teacher ever! He is very helpful and flexible
Dr. Irowa is one of the best professor I had . Just make sure you study well exams are easy . He is , flexible, helpful, and He knows his work!!!!!!! I wish to take class with him again!!!!
Just do the work and you will pass.
Hes really helpful if you are confused in anything. His grading is good. You always have to pay attention. His lectures are great!!
Professor Irowa is the best professor I've ever seen. He is very nice and kind. If you have the chance to take him you should. I wish he taught bio234.
Professor Irowa is the best teacher I've had at Henry Ford so far. He doesn't make passing the class some long and stressful process because his lectures and class notes go straight to the meat of what you need to know. He gives a generous amount of extra credit and is very easy to communicate with.
Great professor I didnt do very good because I was very busy but it u put effort in you will do good very good professor helpful and great teaching style definitely recommend
Zoom meetings live, had them recorded for later referral. ALWAYS easy to contact & prompt replies. Hard course because of memorizing, but there's no better prof for it than him! Understanding, took time to explain, asked if everyone understood throughout the lecture & at the end gave chances to answer questions. YOU WON'T REGRET TAKING DR. IROWA!!!
Great professor! Highly recommend!

If u ask any questions he will respond to you immediately. definitely I would take his class again. I Highly recommend him if you are looking to get an A , if u put effort to it,

Dr. Irowa
HE IS AMAZING TEACHER. If you care, you can e a s i l y get an A+ !!!
Everything is laid out smoothly by the professor. There are weekly quizzes and gave us a couple opportunities for Ec. He like to do zoom meeting which are helpful but not mandatory and is he let me take my last lecture exam early since I was traveling. The guy is down to earth and I would definitely take him again.
Very good teacher
Dr. Irowa is amazing, his style of teaching is incredible, he delivers the information in a clear and understandable way, I think he is the role model for any Bio teacher, he places a huge effort to make online learning possible, thank you Dr. Irowa for everything you do.
This professor makes the class easy and fun but you have to do all of your assignments to pass this class
Best teacher you will ever take. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He gives extra credit, and he is always ready to help and answer any question. Highly recommended.
Dr Irowa is the best! If you need to take anatomy then professor Irowa is the one! He really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. Hes accessible outside of class and will answer any questions you have. He also gives students extra credit at the end of the semester. Anatomy is a hard class but he makes it easy to understand.
At first I was worried about this class but now that I realized how hes such a good professor and hes funny also . It kind of felt like a lot of work since we had only 8 weeks to complete it . But trust me its easy and you will be able to pass this class.
Professor Michael is one of the best professors Ive ever known. His zoom classes are amazing and his exams are based on what he mentions on zoom. Highly recommend!
Hes the best professor at HFC and makes everything easy.. everything is organized and there are alot of helpful resources and notes that can help you understand the subject. Just do everything on time and do the extra credit quiz at the end of the semester it should help you!! I would take him again if he had another class
Dr. Irowa was a great teacher, even though this class was tough because it was a 8 week class, he understood and tried to work with you the best he could, i will definitely take him again.
Easy test and quizzes
Hes the best like I dont know what else to say I took him for the summer semester 8 weeks and by far my favourite bio teacher! I wish I can take him for future classes! Hes so respectful and relatable to his students tries to make it fun! Honestly easy A if you read everything is from the book you really cant fail!
Great Professor
He is very nice instructor, he explained everything briefly in the online meeting , just you have to study and know the anatomy. you will pass he is very nice professor and really good grader
He is so nice. Makes things easy and understandable with specific notes to use. Lectures test easy, but lap is hard. You need to spend time studying because the subject is hard. However the professor is so nice and understanding. Take him
Dr. Michael Irowa Was one of my best professors. His class is easy. He gives you a lot of time to complete your work. Advice to take with him. The great professor.
This is good professor for biology classes
Professor air OWA was really sweet! His lectures we always to the point, there wasnt much homework but the work he asks assign was really helpful for the tests. He even made study guides for us to use on the test! �� 10/10 Quarantine Teacher
Professor Irowa is an amazing instructor, I will 1000% recommend him, take him you will not regret it, easy A definitely, he makes sure his student pass the class by making the course easy, I sure came in into that class worried cause I heard so much bad things about AP but came out of it, HAPPY. I wish he was teaching all my other classes (LOL) .
I took his 8-week class during the summer semester and he did a great job teaching the content in such a short span of time. He provides a lot of instructional videos, notes, and pre-recorded zoom videos to specify what will be covered on tests/practicals (I didn't really need the book). He responds to emails fairly quickly. Definitely recommend!
Very very nice Professor, understanding and very clear with instruction. Answers back fast and very respectable!
He's one of the best teachers I had in my life, he wants you to pass his class with a good grade. You will be lucky if you have him. His tests and quizzes are very clear and easy. At the end of the semester, he will give you a test for extra credit which means your grade will increase.
10/10 best professor, easy A if taken online. Class consists of 10 quizzes, 5 tests, 3 lab test. 5 discussion boards. Would recommend
Professor Irowa is awesome, hes the best professor I have ever had and I didnt not come across one difficulty with him as a professor. Highly suggest taking him as a professor.
Prof Irowa is literally the best. He gives you everything you need to be successful in his class. Class with lab included was 10 quizzes, 3 lab exams, 5lecture exams, 5 discussion boards and a ton of extra credit! I wish he taught every bio class, definitely recommend; you will not regret.
Great teacher.
Dr. Irowa is a wonderful, thoughtful and awesome instructor! His PowerPoint and Zoom recordings were very helpful! He put a lot of thought into the material and made it easy to understand. If you watch the Zoom videos, he goes covers all the material for the Lab Practical's and quizzes.
Teaching style felt lazy, very unhelpful and did not aide in guidance that would lead to success.
The professor is good and gives open book lecture exams but the material is really hard to learn and that is not on the professors head at all, he tries his best to make sure you pass.
Very Difficult to understand.
He is a very lovely person. However, The lecture tests are open-note with 100 MCQs but included things outside the material provided. The lab is 65 questions were 10 of them are extra credit. We had discussion boards every 2 weeks (some were just drawing) and a 10-question quiz every week. This class is a lot of work
This teacher is bad! Does not teach. Just points out a body part and states the name of it. Then puts on a video for the class because he states it teaches better than him (it does). For lecture he gives test on 2+ chapters (200+ pages) 100 questions. The study guides he provides are worthless. Teacher does not teach, you are teaching yourself.
Best biology teacher I've ever had. Take him if you have the chance.
Best teacher sometimes its hard to understand but he is awesome. I would definitely take him again.
Dr. Irowa, is quite literally the best biology professor I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. He has a unique way of teaching that makes learning biology not only extremely beneficial, but also surprisingly interesting. An A in this class is very attainable if you're just willing to do the work he assigns, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Chill and overall very knowledgable of the subject
I took professor Irowa for bio134 and he was just amazing, he's teaching style is very easy to follow. Altho the material is difficult to understands he takes his time explaining it making sure that we all learn it. He's a very nice professor that knows what he's doing, I highly recommend him!!
Funny, Amazing guy. Extremely easy compared to other professors. 10/10
Extremely knowledgeable, encourages student participation and question asking. This professor was seriously able to answer every single question asked concisely. It can be hard to tell when he's joking at times, but once you get to understand his sense of humor he is very funny. Overall an amazing professor.
Dr. Irowa is a very knowledge instructor and is passionate about A&P. He is easy to talk to and cares about the students. I highly recommend him for Bio 234.
Professor Irowa is a great instructor, he cares about his students success and try to do everything he can for them to succeed. Definitely recommend him for Bio 234
I took bio 234 with dr irowa over an accelerated summer term. He is a funny, caring, sarcastic man. He cares about his students in a way ive not seen many care, if ur struggling he will work with you.
A great professor
He requires you to study ! Very good teacher , he could be more specific on what to study.
I took this class in an accelerated summer class. The Professor was amazing and emphasized very clearly what would be on the exam. He gave opportunities for extra credit. He really cares about his students and is willing to help whenever. Overall this Professor was amazing and the class was an easy A if u studied and listened to his lectures.
Anatomy & Physiology is one of my required courses. I really enjoyed Professor Irowa's class. He goes above and beyond to teach his students and help out with learning the material. Too add on he is very funny! I unfortunately did not get the opportunity to take the lab with him, so I highly suggest if you are able to, do so.
Professor rowa was the best option for this course! If you want to pass and actually understand the material, this class is for you! lectures might be long but he is very thorough & gives much examples to help you understand! It's an enjoyment he's hilarious. I would've loved to take him for BIO-234, but he's unfortunately not teaching the course.
I took this professor during the summer semester (7 weeks) so that was pretty accelerated. Felt nervous at first becuase 233 lots of material, but he made it super easy, he allowed cheat sheet during the exam. Funny and very knowledgeable. Sit in front, he has an accent, not too hard to understand but sometimes his voice is a little low.
Dr. Irowa is the best professor ever. He is very nice, caring, and knowledgable. He is also very funny. He allows cheat sheets on the exam and he gives extra credit in the end of the semester. He answers any questions you may have & he truly loves what he does. This class has a lot of material and Dr. Irowa makes it fun. He is AMAZING!!!!
Professor Irowa is an amazing instructor who really cares about his students' success. He makes the material engaging and provides plenty of opportunities to excel. For study prep, I found Unstuck study ai and the free textbook to be super helpful.
Dr.Irowa is an amazing professor. He wants to see his student succeed and will ensure that all of the tools are there to make it happen. Loves answering questions and will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the subject matter. My favorite professor thus far! Take him, take your grade serious and you will succeed! Great guy!
Best professor at Henry Ford. He helps as much as he can and doesn't make you feel dumb when you ask questions. He doesn't try to trick you when it comes to exams. If he is teaching bio 234 I'm going to take him.
Mr. Irowa is the best professor I've ever had throughout all my years of college. He makes things clear and easy for you to understand and he is very honest, whether you like it or not. He truly cares about his students and wants them to do good. Take this class and you'll come out a better person. Do your part in class and you'll pass.
Straight forward and explains things well.
Take him. Hes the literal bestttttt just dont take sweidan omg she is so unorganized and is a harsh grader zownt take him if u luv ur life. take him if you luv ur life trustttt the easiest class ever he made a hard class easy and very understandable. accent has me dead tho icl
Walla best teacher he's crazy good.
Oh my gosh easiest professor of my lifeeeeee. Everything in his presentations are on the test and I mean everything plus he literally gives you cheat sheets too, I kid you not you could pass this class with your eyes closed. If you don't take him you'll regret it for the rest if he life. Chill guy also.
If you participate he will LOVE you genuinely even if you are wrong just atleast show him you are trying and he will have your back TRUST.
Amazing professor. He knows how to teach and his tests are like the lecture slides. He gives extra credit and is also funny. If you are scared to take A&P, take it with him.
